>"The unfortunate end result of that is certain segments of the population treated as second-class citizens." I wouldn't go that far. The uncomfortable truth is that we do have people who require special accommodations and those accommodations can often be expensive and rarely utilized. It makes sense to enforce such accommodations for things like building codes and government websites. But for most individuals making content online, full compliance is too costly for something that isn't going to be seen by a wide audience in the first place. I think if the author hadn't been sued and someone approached him asking for captions there is a good chance that person could have been reasonably accommodated.
